I work with graphic/UI designers and I have to be the one to advocate for using more than color to differentiate states, and to meet acceptable contrast ratios.

I work with graphic/UI designers and I have to be the one to advocate for using more than color to differentiate states, and to meet acceptable contrast ratios. And don't get me started on hiding things behind hard to discover hover states. The managers who are supposed to oversee the development of these products don't give a shit about accessibility. Sad state of affairs.

> The managers who are supposed to oversee the development Yeah, I can understand kids wanting to play with whatever's new in HTML5 etc. But I don't get why the manager in charge of the project doesn't say "Yes, very cool; but it's unreadable if there's sun-glare. Fix it, please." Well, I do sort of get it; the manager's a kid too, and he likes custom controls and "distinctive" typography as much as the developer, and doesn't know anything about accessbility. I'm not talking about real accessibility; I just mean ordinary people being able to access the content. Yeah, you can say "fuck it, I'll go somewhere else". But a lot of sites that I rely on have unique content.
